Coneflower Sympathy Card with Stamp Simply
Recently I had a far away friend lose a dear family member, and I wanted to send a card. I love this sentiment of remembrance from Stamp Simply.
I made a background with acetate and three Distress Oxide inks on white watercolor cardstock. When dry, I stamped my sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I stamped my Coneflower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored in with Copic markers, and cut with the coordinating die from the Bundle. I adhered it to the card panel with foam tape, and embellished with rhinestones. A light pink mat, and a hot pink folded card base, and voila!

Our married life has been such a fun adventure, and we have traveled many places together by car. So my inspiration for this card came from our explorations of the country and the world over the last several decades! Wow, that sounds OLD. Anyway -----

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with Stamp Simply
Today I am up on the Stamp Simply Blog with this pretty coffee card, celebrating the Coffee Lovers Papercrafting (Company) Blog Hop. MANY companies have prizes and/or discount codes, and Stamp Simply is giving away a $25 Gift Voucher to a randomly chosen SS Blog commenter! PLUS all Coffee themed products are 15% off!
I cut three circles, my cups/handles, and the Coffee word die out of the 6x6 paper pad. My sentiment and tag were cut from white cardstock, and a seam binding bow was tied around the tag. I arranged my circles on the kraft card panel, and adhered them with liquid glue, and did the same with the cups on the tag. I popped the tag up with foam tape and adhered it to the kraft card panel. I cut an extra Coffee Word Die out of white cardstock for stability, and glued it to the patterned die, then adhered partially to the tag piece.
I stamped my sentiment in black ink, and popped it up with foam tape. I added a few enamel dots to pick up the peach color in the paper and adhered the entire panel to a moss green cardstock folded card base.
Supplies from Stamp Simply:
- Coffee or Tea? Bundle
- Carta Bella Gather at Home 6x6
- VersaFine Onyx Black Ink
